? I don't understand what you mean here, but I doubt that the OP will 
find anything like what they are asking. GPG isn't like the movies...you 
can't have only a portion of a password and crack the remaining 
digits/characters. It's kind of an all or nothing deal...I mean, if you 
encrypt something, then encrypt it again with a password that's one off 
in characters, you should get something that looks completely different.
